and regardless of what you have them make, if you buy from black scissors you are supporting criminals in my book. i don't care if its cheaper, if you can't afford something real that you want find something you can afford or get a different jacket. what you are saying is along the lines of letting a child molester babysit your kids because they charge less that the other nanny and they claim that they stopped raping infants.

that's a false analogy. people buy knockoffs because they're willing to pay less for lesser quality, status, and/or reputation. what they're basically paying for is the design. i assume you support capitalism, but if you don't, then i guess MAYBE you have an argument that derivative product design is criminal.

No prob buddy. I purchaed one of their jackets as well. I recently got my BS206 XS. The fit was large, as expected by the odd measurments they lay out for the jacket, but I got it taken in at my very trustworth tailor for only $60 bucks. It looks great now... tight but I dig it. I can post pictures if anyone wants me to.

Honestly I didn't even check. The XS was said to be 52cm pit to pit, which was too large for me so I knew before the jacket arrived I was going to have to get it tailored. I tried it on and it was infact too big, but I never got around to taking measurements before taking it in.

This one shown in the auction is made of a sort of distressed and creased leather, so I asked the guys if it's possible to have a "clean" leather version
and they said yeah, no problem

so, I just like to know is someone has experience with Black scissors:

- is the fit and the general look AT LEAST COMPARABLE to the original ones?
- can anyone post fit pics? (better would be fit pics of this particular one, and pics of jackets made with plain leather...)
- overall, are you satisfied with the item you received?

The fit of mine is pretty good, the only thing that bothers me is the arms aren't slim enough for me - but then again I don't exactly have the biggest arms so I'm sure for most people this would be a non- issue. Leather quality wise- I've also been happy- so happy in fact I went and ordered another jacket- this one in grey, the rohood if you check out the store which should be here next week.
